Whereas I love the new edition of Specify7 and user management appearing to be really powerful now, I’m stuck waddling about a simple task: Adding an existing user to another collection.
For instance: I have a user, Tom Schiøtte, which has been connected to the “Invertebrate Zoology” collection in Specify for a very long time. This user needs to be added to a newly created collection called “Exhibitions”. So I log on with my admin access and head to the Security and Accounts section.
First I try to look up the user at the institution level. His username is “schioette”. I then select the collection “NHMD Exhibitions” from the dropdownlist and tick off “Enable Collection Access” and “Full Access - Legacy” (He’s marked “Collection Admin” for InvZool).
Assuming an agent needs to be assigned to this user for this particular collection/discipline, I also add that, believing all should be OK then.
I move down to hit “Save”:
But then, for some reason, Specify7 demands that I also set agents for all other collections, even though these are not relevant at all.
Why is that???
